[python-win32] VARIANT as byref parameter

I'm not sure - but I'm not even sure it is legal automation to do that:

> LONG lValue;
> lValue = plQueryNote->GetVarSize();
> LPBYTE buff = new BYTE[lValue];
> VARIANT varData;
> varData.vt = VT_BYREF;
> varData.byref = buff;
> plQueryNote->ReadVarBlock(&varData,0,lValue);

Isn't VT_BYREF a modifier?  It looks to me like the variant in this snippet
isn't legal.  What I'd really like to see is an example in VBScript/VB or
any other IDispatch aware language that isn't c++ ;)
